They Walk Among Us: Misogyny, Right-Wing Authoritarianism and Social Dominance Orientation Predict the Endorsement of Incel Ideologies

Resumen

Some of the most radicalised members of involuntary celibate (‘incel’) communities have committed violent attacks with multiple victims, highlighting the risk they pose to society—particularly women. This pilot study aimed to determine if misogyny, right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) and social dominance orientation (SDO) predicted the endorsement of incel ideologies (‘inceldom’) in a male community sample (n = 65). Results indicated that misogyny and RWA positively predict inceldom, while SDO was negatively predictive. By better understanding the individual differences underlying inceldom, improved deradicalization support systems can be implemented for those wishing to leave the incel community.
